Our fearless leader discussing #energetics and #heartdisease in a scientific panel at the UC Davis Cardiovascular Symposium

The Beard lab works hard on the weekends! Filip flew in all the way from Prague just to do a valsalva, while Dan, Feng, and Ellen make sure he doesn’t pass out. #beardlab #cvcresearch #heartresearch

Big thank you to our UMPhysiology grad students Benedict Abdon Vi Tang Kelly Young and Rachael Lopez who gave our depatment's first virtual seminars this week. Your on-schedule talks brought some normalcy and an outlet for our scientific curiosity while #SociallyDistanced.

Seeking a postdoc to work on building and applying multi-scale computational models of cardiac energetics, mechanics, and whole-organ and whole-body body function. Ongoing projects involve analyzing clinical data from heart failure and transplant patients and from animal models.

New Dan Michele paper in AJP-Heart and Circ showing dimethylarginines from necrotic muscle may impact cardiovascular function in mdx carriers. Lead by Joanne Garbincius, w/ D'Alecy lab, UMPhysiology Phenotyping Core, and undergrad fellows inc/ Lauren Merz journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Congrats to UMPhysiology graduate student Andrew Marquis for receiving a NIH NRSA Predoctoral Fellowship. Working with the Pinsky Lab and Daniel Beard, Drew is studying how hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction affects lung function using experimental/computational approaches

Congrats Drew!

Congrats to UMPhysiology PhD student Rachel Lopez and collaborators in the Daniel Beard for her first author paper in Function using physiology and computational models to show how myocardial energetics drives abnormal function in heart failure academic.oup.com/function/advan…

Occasionally, a Sparty from MSU and a group of Wolverines from University of Michigan can dispel the rivalry and work together to do some cool science. Happy to visit Greg Fink lab and it was fun to be a part of this collaboration with Daniel Beard

New study links weakened hearts to a build-up of phosphate, describing the metabolic dysfunction behind heart failure: michmed.org/G2p0K

Anyone else unhealthily obsessed with watching polls and election projections?

I try to stay way away from politics here, but can't help but wonder what would happen if armed BLM protestors stormed the US Capitol...

If you lack enough fresh coffee beans to make a whole pot, is this wrong?

Congrats to UMPhysiology PhD student @Drewzeewoozee for his first author publication in PLOS Comp Biol, with the Pinsky Lab and Daniel Beard, describing modeling of lung ventilation perfusion matching and hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

We have some pretty creative people in the lab!

Congrats to UMPhysiology PhD student and CVRE T32 trainee @Drewzeewoozee for defending his dissertation today! Drew worked with Daniel Beard and David Pinsky from U-M Health Frankel CVC on computational modeling of the mechanisms of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and V/Q matching.
